Upgrade database to 11g with Application Express 3.1.2.00.02

What is the recommended procedure to upgrade to a 11G database while running apex 3.1.2
We recently upgraded our development database to 11g - the steps followed were to create a new 11g database and export from 10g and import our schemas into
the new version. while creating the database our DBA selected the install Apex option. Well this caused APEX to downgrade our version to 3.0
Of course nothing worked. It's been over a week now and through many posts and other googled articles have made several attempts to rectify this. I've uninstalled and reinstalled apex many times but my real concern at the moment is......
Well now management is ready for the next 11g environment - yikes! I'd like to know some steps to take to keep this mess from happening again.
I appreciate your advice
Moe

As you mention in your post, installing Apex as part of 11g is optional. If you are concerned about staying with the version of Apex you have (especially if it is later than the version that comes with 11.1) then just ask your DBA to not install Apex with the 11g installer. Apex can be installed separately and can be which ever version you need (within limits).
Likewise, when upgrading from 10g to 11g, you can either upgrade the database in-situ (which would preserve your Apex database installation I believe) or create a new instance and import your schemas and redeploy your apex apps (having installed Apex manually).
As an aside, 11.2 (out for Linux/Solaris) seems to come with 3.2.1.
Good luck.

Oracle 11g XE Application Express - Retrieve or reset password

I cannot remember my password to access an existing database in Application Express. I tried entering my password 3 times, but the system does not provide a status other than 'Invalid Login Credentials'. I am going to assume that 3 times is limit before you have to reset the password or from what I see reinstall. When selecting reset, the system asks for an email address that was never established in the system. How can I reset my password without uninstalling and reinstalling Oracle 11g XE?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You can login with ADMIN user to INTERNAL workspace and manage all workspace users and change passwords.

Can we upgrade database in parllel with oracle Applcation servers

Hi
I am upgrading oracle application from 12.0.4 to 12.1.1 & then to 12.1.3.
My current version of database is 10.2.0.4. I also have a plan to upgrade my database to 11g release 2
Can anyone clarify me,
Is upgrading database from 10.2.0.4 to 11g release2 in parllel with upgradation of oracle application servers 10.1.3 and 10.1.2 possable?
As I could see that none of the patch sets of 10.1.3 have dependencies with database
I haven't checked if it has any dependencies with database while upgrading Application server 10.1.2
Please suggest me pro's & con's in doing both the upgrades in parlled
Thanks in advance

Hi;
Can anyone clarify me,
Is upgrading database from 10.2.0.4 to 11g release2 in parllel with upgradation of oracle application servers 10.1.3 and 10.1.2 possable?I belive yes you can go with spreate upgrade. Coz you are making IAS upgrade and also db upgrade which can be done separately.
As I could see that none of the patch sets of 10.1.3 have dependencies with database
I haven't checked if it has any dependencies with database while upgrading Application server 10.1.2Please see:

VPD and Context With Application Express

Dear All
i'm going to build application using application express and oracle database enterprise , VPD Implemented on the schema using Context,
for developer issue i set on login trigger to set user ;
but i can't view data inside application but i can view it using sql statement
So is their issue in Apex when using VPD , Context , or On log on trigger?
thanks

Logon triggers won't work with web apps using a connection pool like APEX. The VPD context should be set via the APEX VPD application security attribute.

Can I use existing 10g iAS install with Application Express?

I apologize if this has been addressed somewhere else, but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer yet.
I have a 10g DB installed on machine A, and have been following the instructions to install Application Express. Instead of installing another instance of HTTP_Server (from the companion CD) on machine A, I have machine B with a full 10g iAS install on it (discoverer, portal, infrastructure, etc). I would like to use machine B as the front end to access htmldb. Machine B has 2 oracle homes, one for the infrastructure and one for the BI tools/portal stuff. Which one do I configure for htmldb? From reading in this forum I think I can use the dads.conf file instead of the marvel.conf file (which doesn't exist) to add the pls/htmldb info, but I can't figure out which one to edit. I probably have something else wrong somewhere, but this would help narrow things down. Currently when I go to the following url http://machineb:7778/pls/htmldb I get "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable".
Thanks in advance for any help.
Rhonda

Sure, you can use the Application Server, no need to install another one.
You would add the configuration to the BI tools/portal stuff Oracle Home, not the infrastructure.
You don't need the marvel.conf explicitly (but this is installed per default when you install the http server from the 10g companion CD).
You could just add the DAD configuration to the dads.conf.
To make it a bit simpler I would do the following:
1) remove the entries for /pls/htmldb from your current dads.conf (if they exist).
2) follow the instructions here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_useoas10g.html
And use the following for the contents of the file marvel.conf (make sure to change it accordingly for your environment (changes to make are bold):
AddType text/xml xbl
AddType text/x-component htc
Alias /i/ /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db/htmldb/images/

Problems with "Application Express Accounts" authentication scheme...

Hi.
I'm using Application Express 4.1.1.00.23 on Oracle 10g XE.
I have created and used an authentication scheme based on APEX accounts which worked okay for a while but it now experiencing issues. All the current users are working fine, but I cannot add new ones in the app! Oh, I'm using an APEX generated Access Control page within the app (which I have deleted/recreated to no joy).
If I make changes to a current user I get the expected "1 row(s) updated, 0 row(s) inserted." message and it has indeed worked. If I "Add User" and "Apply Changes", nothing happens... well, the page is seemingly submitted, but no action is taken, no errors are raised, but no user is added.
Curiously, if I both amend a user and add a user before applying changes I get the following -
"1 error has occurred
Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current row version identifier = "A884FA378C851786DDFE3A33709CB23C" application row version identifier = "234234C67A01764460EDABD366BC4C48" (Row 2)"
The row is mentions is the one I tried to amend. To make matters worse, it's not consistent as another row I tried to amend (at the same time as inserting a new user) gives the following error -
"1 error has occurred
unique constraint (ICTLIVE.APEX_ACCESS_CONTROL_PK) violated (Row 1)"
This update, again, works correctly when I try to update without adding a new user!
Very confused, can anyone help please!
Thanks in advance,
Adam.

Hi, and thanks for the reply.
I have used this successfully before myself... that's why this is confusing me! I have tried recreating the page with the same number and also creating a new page with a new number and the result is the same. It leads me to believe there's something else going on but I have no idea what!

Problem with Application Express

Good Morning,
I installed Oracle Application Express, but I have a problem with the first login and the creation of my workspace.
During login using the username 'admin' and pwd as the sys's user because until now the only pwd I configure when I installed Oracle Express 10g and Oracle Application Express.
When I go to login, the page seems not to take any command.
I look a your help. Thanks

Database Vault 11g with RAC

According to Oracle whitepaper, it mentioned that "The Oracle Home where DV is to be installed does not contain any ASM instance."
But, ASM and RAC DB are located at the same home (Default installation) at my site.
I jsut puzzle how I can fulfill this requirement. Could any expert give me some advices ?

I have built a test environment using single instance only, same os version and db version, without clusterware and rac.
I perform the same by installing asm and db in the same home and create db, and then install DBV .
Register the existing db instance for DBConsole at all.
Eventually it turns out that no problem.
Any supporting reason for that I must separate the Oracle Home ?On Oracle [ID 793739.1] -> 12 Things to Check for a Successful Database Vault Installation in 10gR2
#1. Oracle Label Security is correctly installed and enabled.
#2. Database console is functional.
#3. The database to be installed should figure in the oratab file
#4. the sqlnet files (tnsnames.ora and listener.ora) are placed in the default location:
*#5. The Oracle Home where DV is to be installed does not contain any ASM instance.*
#6. In case of RAC srvctl must work fine on all nodes.
#7. The database vault must be installed:
+ For a single instance database it must be installed in a home that does not have the RAC option enabled.
+ For a RAC database it must be installed in a home that has the RAC option enabled.
You cannot run a single instance database vault from a RAC enabled home.
#8. In the database there must be a temporary tablespace named TEMP.
#9. The service name used in jdbc_str must appear as an entry in tnsnames. ora and must match in name and case the ORACLE_SID.
#10. The installer expects the listener name to be LISTENER and this is the only listener it starts. If using a different listener name, it must be started before running runInstaller or dvca.
#11. Respect the password restrictions. Use the alphanumeric, characters, numbers and any of the $,#,_ characters. Password must be at least 8 characters long and contain at least one character from each of the groups mentioned above.
#12. In addition to all the above, the 10.2.0.3 installation expects the ORACLE_SID to be lowercase. If this is too restrictive, it would be recommended to upgrade to the 10.2.0.4 database and database vault releases.
* Certainly , you can install DBV with ASM. However, Oracle support doesn't guarantee it's stability and patch availability.That's fine. Let me discuss with stakeholdersr . My next task is to split RAC and ASM

How to use Jasperreport with Application Express?

HI,
We are really want to 'print out' from our apex applications, but by far no easy way to do so.

I am tring to install Jasperreports with apex, but I don't know how to do it, I downloaded the windows version of Jasperreport.
Any idea how to install and configure it to work with my apex applications?

Airport Extreme 802.11g with Airport Express 802.11n Aiport Express

I have An Airport Extreme Base Station 11g and an airport express 11g and I needed to buy another Airport Express but this one is 11n and my Airport Utility does not see it. Are these new Airport Express backward compatible? The reason is the kids X-box needs the ethernet jack that the color printer uses.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Thank you!
I followed your advice but so far I have been able to make some progress. I went out and bought the Airport Extreme 802.11n as I needed a router too so I like the features on the new one. So I think I have made a complex situation worse, LOL.
So far, the new airport utility can only see the new & old Airport Extreme but cant see the Express-g or express-n airports as they continue to blink amber.
What do I am I doing wrong?
thx

Extend Airport Extreme 802.11g with Airport Express 802.11n

I bought a new AE 802.11n and I want to extend my network from my old Airport Extreme 802.11g. I can't figure out how to do this.

Unfortunately, the newer "n" AirPorts and older "g" AirPorts are not compatible if you are trying to configure the AirPort Express to "extend a wireless network" using wireless only.
The "extend a wireless network" function and feature is only found on newer "n" AirPorts.
If you can connect the AirPort Express to the older AirPort Extreme using a permanent wired Ethernet connection, it is possible to configure the Express to provide more wireless coverage that way.
Using an older, very difficult setup called WDS, it might be possible to configure the Express using wireless only, but the end result would be a network that provides only half the speed of your older "g" AirPort Extreme, so this is definitely not recommended due to the severe performance drop that will occur on the network.

Application Express upgrade problems, again

After running the @apexins.sql (which installed successfully), I can not change the admin password.
The "@apxchpwd" command returns: "Error at line 1: ORA-01034: Oracle not available"
When I log into SQL *PLUS ("sqlplus sys as sysdba") and enter password, command line returns, "Connected to an idle instance".
The Database homepage no longer works either. When I try to access it the error: "wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err" shows up.

Roel,
Thanks for the reply.
I had to uninstall/reinstall the database. I've come to the realization that 10g Express doesn't play friendly with Application Express 3.1/3.2

Application Express 3.2.1 post installation problem

I upgraded Oracle database XE with Application Express 3.2.1
The installation was succesfull. The logfiles contains the text: Thank you for installing ... etc
The post installation tasks give me some problems. As I upgraded from Oracle Database XE, I am using the 10.g version. That is correct?
That means I cannot use the embedded PL/SQL gateway, foir this works only with version 11g. So I must configer the Oracle HTTP server and mod_plsql. That is correct?
After installation I am supposed to copy the image directory in the ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME \Apache directory
I have no idea where that directory is. A search on my C: drive returns no results.
How can I find the ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME \Apache directory?
Any help is welcome
Hans

Hi,
Oracle XE comes with EPG even it is 10g
This might help
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.2_and_xe.html
If you install was ok then you need just update images and set/reset Apex admin password
# Connect to SQL*Plus as SYS
# @APEX_HOME/apex/apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME
# @APEX_HOME/apex/apxxepwd.sql password
For the steps above, APEX_HOME is the directory where the Application Express software was unzipped.

Application Express node missing

Hello experts,
I have installed SQL Developer v. 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969, connected to my application owner, but I can't find the Application Express node.
Any tip?

Edited by: user12088893 on Oct 27, 2009 9:32 AM

Hi Tks,
Sorry for the late reply, this may not be of use anymore but someone else may get something from it.
Is your install of Application Express 3.0.1 or higher?
Oracle XE ships with Application Express 2.1.0.00.39. (You can upgrade Application Express to the latest version if you want).
Here are some details
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/sql_dev_integration.html
If you do have Application Express 3.0.1 or higher, then please post back and we can dig further.
Thanks,
